In America a Harley Davidson motor cycle costs $9,000. Out of America it sells for $20,000. Why? Bad trade deals. The USA began making bad trade deals to help other country’s rebound after WW II. Now we are supposed to listen to some kid Prime Minister of Canada, in a cowardly act, knowing he caved at the G7 to President Trump, trying to save face in an immediate press conference after our President left for the North Korea summit in Singapore. Bad mouthing him in “fight back” terms to save himself domestically. His election coming 2019. Shameful. No mention how Canada has a 270% tariff on U.S. dairy products. Why are members of the G7 so upset? Because they are about to lose millions of dollars in over charging the USA. Says Trump. “We are tired of being the piggy bank for the rest of the world.” Incredibly, America pays 26% of the NATO costs. We’re lucky if a few other nations pay their required 2%. It was our President who shamed them at his first Nato meeting telling them to pay up. Said Trump to advisors later…”I should have asked them to pay up missed payments plus interest.”
For those of you who primarily listen or watch biased CNN, MSNBC or other liberal outlets, you have no idea of all good things happening in our Country. For the first time ever in recording job numbers, there are more job openings than there are unemployed workers. 6.7 million job openings to 6.35 million unemployed. Overwhelmingly, Americans feel the Country is headed in the right direction. We have the lowest unemployment ever for Blacks and Hispanics. Unemployment numbers are low enough to be classified as full employment. Most all biased channels use merely slanted conjecture. And personality remarks. Nothing good.
We finally have a President who has courage and won’t be intimidated by anyone or any other country. Instinctively, he knows what needs to be done and does what is necessary to make it happen. North Korea…this the first time any President has come this far in an attempt to defuse their nuclear program pointed at the USA. It may fail. But, Trump feels it is worth a try. Accompanied by the best advisors that can be found, he is fearless. Would you ever see Hillary or Obama doing this? Don’t make me laugh. Obama…”If they use poison gas on their people (Syria’s government) that will cross the line.” for action. Then does nothing. Obama knew in advance you wouldn’t be able to keep your health plan or doctor.
No President has ever been subjected to such overwhelming criticism from the media. And to his family. It often appears CNN and MSNBC go to work in the morning to find a mole hill and build it to a mountain by night time. Incredibly, President Trump’s approval rating keeps rising. Nobody hated the nomination of President Trump more than ex President candidate Mitt Romney. What does Romney say now? “President Trump will win reelection 2020.”
So now we wait for the first face to face meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jung Un. As ex-Governor/diplomat Bill Richardson suggested, President Trump will meet with Kim Jong-un one on one with only interpreters. Although Un may have a slight advantage because some say he does understand English. Scheduled to meet for one hour. Would not surprise jacksjargon if it rambles on far past one hour. After their meeting both are scheduled to leave the city and leave it up to their teams to negotiate. Richardson, who has visited North Korea many times, suggests Trump not smile in any pictures with Un. North Korea will use a smiling picture of Trump for propaganda. The President says he will know in a minute if Kim Jung-Un is serious about negotiations.
This historic meeting is easily the most major foreign event since the Cold War. Experts say to negotiate with North Korean’s across the table is pointless. It never produces. Good luck Mr. President. As he is prone to say all the time…”We’ll see.
